Is 1t Right7

That the city of Newberry should hare
q monopoly of the whisky business of
Newberry county? That the license
should be fixed so high that only afeW
men with money can cell it? That tlless
profits on liquor from the sales to men INF
the country should 60 to keeping up the {
town without their having voice 10 thei:
matter? That whiskey should be placed
at every corner to destroy the character
of the young men of the county, eye2gS
we have no regard for those7in town.
That it should be presumed that the saleM
of liquor could not be prohibited in the
event that the county voted "no license 2''Fi.
That the city should be allowed to take I
care of itself to the detriment of tho
county upon which it depends for it's
support7 That the whiskey should be-
permitted when it has been decided that
it is such bad business that man must
pay FIVE hundred dollars to the city, one
hundred dollars to the county and twenty
five dollars to the United States Govern
ment before he can sell the stuff? That
the clothing and bread of the children of
the unfortunate inebriate should be taken
from them to pay the expenses of the !
city? That sll ofthe money thus wrest:.ss.
ed from the people should be used in
paying police for keeping drinking men
from committing crime, and the courts
for prosecuting criminals, made SO by
drinking? That boys should be made}S
drunkards7 That whisky should be sold
on sunday?
We say, most emphaticaliy, No, to-;
every one of these questions, and callsy
upon all of thu friends of the right to aid +;
us in correcting these evils, and if closing
up the bar.rooms by county vote is the
only way to put down monopolies, and
the evil with them, let's join and put
them down. We are tired of a few men
holding the whip over the people Of our
county. If Newberry can't set along
without the revenue from the sale aos
whisky, the county will have to devise
some plan to aid her in providing for the
annual expenses. In any event thes
monopoly of the business should be-
broken up. The argument against low
license is that the poor men do not keep
order in their houses. We are credibly,ss
informed that the worst order in the city
is at one of the toniest bar.rooms, so-s
called, and that the best orderis a bar
room kept by man Of a few p1etensions.

DROWNED.

Shortly before 8 O'Clock this
morning a body was seen floating in
the bay, near the stern of the
schooner Leahi, anchored off the old
Custom House wharf. The body
on being rescued was found to be
that of Captain Edward Wood. The
remains were taken 10 the Station
House, where they we've examined.
No bruises were noticeable on the
face or head. The body was clothed
in blue serge, and large boots were
on the feet. The limbs aud neck
were as Timber rs when IN life, show
ing that death was very recent.
Captain Wood was seen about town
between 4 and 3 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. lie left Mr.. G. b. vii.
sons house at 9:l5 O'Clock last
night, and was seen in the Hawaiian
Hotel Billiard room later. II is
thought by some that he went up
the valley early this morning to see
the condition of the Nuuanu siphnn,
and that he fell into the stream and
was washed down to the bay. BY
others it is supposed that he fell off

Ind told Mr.. Wilson that he was
going down TO the city front to see
some friends. The Captain-some-
times called Professor-was about
60 years of age. Hefirst came to
these islands between the years of
1848 and 1851. Later he came out
as second mate of Fair Haven
whaler. In the fifties he became
master of the whaler United States,
which vessel was owned here, and
took her on voyage to the Arctic.
About ten years ago, he was given
the command of the Government
bark Hawaii, and sent to the South
Seas for laborers. Since then he has
been working at various callings,
latterly in the employ of the Homo
lululu Water Works. He was well
known, and noted for his tales of
the past of these Islands.
At / O'clock to-day the Marshal
called the following persons: John
Waterhouse, NJ. Davis, Max Exkart,
A. f. Cooke, j. Emmeluth, and j.
Lovejoy, who constituted jury for
coroner's inquest. The jury were
sworn, and having viewed the re.
mains, postponed the inquest until
Wednesday next to collect evidence.

THE HONOLULU RIFLES.

EDITOR BULLETIN Again, have
to ask your indulgence TO permit me
a little space in your valuable sheet
for few remarks which might en-
able to convince "An Observer and
Lacquer" and also the public at
large that the Honolulu Rifles are
not held up as menace over the
heads of the public" etc., etc.
/ will argue with the gentleman
signing himself IAN Observer and
Lacquer, taking his article para
graph by paragraph.
To he frank, must admit that l
was wrong in the accusation against
an "Observer" as referred to in
your first paragraph. 1t was more
on the implication of the whole
article than the statement of that
particular clause that | wrote my
answer. The question at issue is
not which of the two bodies of men
did the most, but whether it is or is
not worth the expenditure of a few
thousand dollars biennially to main
tain this corps of Rifles, represent
ing as it does the very best ele-
ments of our community.
The second paragraph ] have
answered already, giving the League
full credit for their services. I will
pass it over as irrelevant, unless the
gentleman wants to raise the qnes-
ton of having the League, as l take
it by his argument, remunerated,
which the Rifles do not want them
selves, but do not object to, as APP
plying to the latter.
The third is rather to the point
and would imply the unwiIlingness
of the Rifles to be subjected to
military or rather governmental sur
veillance and rule. How Is it, | will
ask. that most of our officers hold
the Kings commissions, and unless
the question is put to the rest of the
members whether they are willing or
not to take an oath of allegiance to
the flag and government of their
adopted country, | think it is un-
fair to condemn them unheard and
beforehand on that score. AS a
member of the corps, | can vouch
for everyone of us to do so if re-
quired. 1t is easy enough to pass a
law to that effect. And no doubt all
of us would have it thus rather than
as we are now.
The fourth paragraph has an allu-
sion to the expense of this corps to
the country and goes on to question
the value and usefulness of it as
compared with its cost to the Gov
eminent. Summing up the total
outlay of thoroughly equipping and
arming this body of men which Gan
Observer and Lacquer" says has
performed valuable services during
| the revolution, we get the sum,
everything included, of $l3,7Sl.01.
! A large amount, but it should be
born in mind that this is the original
cost; and whether kept OF disband-
ed this sum is bound 10 be paid.

FRANCIS RAPID RECOVERY.

The rapidity with which countries
recover from the ravages of war has
attracted the attention of most po-
litical economists. The phenome-
non was first explained by DIR.
Chalmers and since his time, ex-
plantations more or less similar to
that given by him have found their
way into most of the current eco
nomical text books. A point, how
ever, closely connected with this,
and which has received less consider
alton than it deserves, is the great
facility with which a vanquished
nation has sometimes been able to
pay an apparently ruihous fine which
victorious enemy has imposed
upon it. BY far the most striking
example on record is the case of
France, after the war of 1901.
The Germans, not satisfied with the
annexation of Alsace and Lorraine,
insisted that France should pay the
cost of the campaign, as a losing
ltigant pays the cost of lawsuit;
and fine amounting to the enor-
nous sum of 1000, 100000 of francs,
or f2OO,000,00O was exacted, the
German troops remaining in occu-
patton of a part of tie French terri
tory until the last farthing of it was
paid. One would naturally have
supposed that, to country already

crushed and PROSTATE this would
have been a blow from which it
would have taken generations to re-
cover, and that the payment of such
an idemnity would have taxed to the
utmost the financial r2Gources even
of so rich a nation as France. The
establishment of Europe was there
fore great when it was seen that not
only was the idemnity easily and
quickly paid, but that the financial
condition of France was, at the end
of few years, more prosperous
than that Of her rival. So evident,
indeed, was this, even to the Ger
mans themselves, that it was humor-
ously proposed by a writer in a
German periodical that when Ger
many next beat France, the French
should be compelled to receive,
instead Of paying a fine of f200,-

A LILLE GIANT.

Sloane was an Ohio boy, and l
made his acquaintance and chum-
med with him in the Andersonville
prison pen. We went West together
after the war, and at that time he
was only q years old. He was )
feet z inches high, weighed 100
pounds, and was the strongest man
ever saw outside of a professional
wrestler or cannon-ball tosser. His
flesh was so hard that he could
crack walnut on his leg.
One of the nerviest things in
Sloanr's whole career happened at
Navasota, on the Brazo's river. We
were sitting on the yerandah OF the
hotel, when fighter entered the vii
lage on horseback and armed with a
Winchester aud two revolvers. lie
took drink or two and then started
in to capture the town. There was
only QUE street, and he rode up and
down this at full gallop, firing right
and left and uttering terrific yells.
In five minutes he had the town.
People disappeared from sight with
amazing celebrity and everybody was
thoroughly cowed. The fellow fired
two shots among the sitters on the
verandah, and we stampeded. l
own up that | had no desire for a
closer acquaintance with the ruflian,
and | was among the first to seek
tower. When we we're all inside, |
peered cautiously from a window
and saw Sloane still outside. He was
on his feet, leaning against a
column of the verandah and smok-
ing cigar as coolly as you please.
| shouted for him to come in, but he
shook his head. Appeals were made
by others, but he turned deaf ear.
The cowboy had by this time
reached the lower end of the street
and turned to come back. He came
at full gallop, but checked his horse
in front of the hotel and fired three
shots at Sloane from a distance Of
fifty feet. The first tipped past his
ear; the other two cut cloth without
drawing blood. We were looking
full at the shooter from the windows,
and, as he fired the third shot with
out bringing his man, look of Won
der came TO his face, and he bent
4 L
"Who are you, man or devil?"
George sauntered along to the
steps, slowly descended, and APP
preached the man, and as he came
near enough he grabbed for him.
Next instant the boy was pulled off
his horse and being literally mopped
all over the road. He tried to use
a weapon, but was disarmed with
scarcely an effort, and when George
got through him he lay as one dead.
Rifle, revolvers and knife were bro
ken and flung in a heap beside him,
and George sat down on the steps
to finish his smoke. He had kept
his cigar alight through the fracas.
l personally interviewed the doctor
who was called to see the cow
boy, and he gave me list of the
injuries, as follows: Left arm bro
ken, thumb on right hand broken,
three scalp wounds, right shoulder
probably dislocated, three teeth
knocked out, five bruises on various
parts, one eye closed.
The fight did not last three min
utes, and yet the little giant laid the
fellow up for three good months and
taught him lesson he never forgot.
| saw and talked with him q year
later, and he told me he never was
so scared in his life, and that he was
not yet entirely well from the drub-
bing.- N. Y. Sun.

gence of the death of his father, Cap
tain O. G. Swain. The late Captain
Swain was connected with the whal-

Islands in the early days, and is still

died at Oakland, at the advanced age
of 70 years.
